Thank you to everyone who has favorited, followed or reviewed this fic so far.

Green Hal37: Thanks for the review. Yeah, Bruce and Hulk would both be relieved. Yes, it is hard to picture MODOK in live action for me too. I know MCU Earth is Earth-199999 but I don't think the characters know that.

Chaos Sorcerer: Thanks for the review. Glad it gave you a smile because I got one too. Yes he will get it in Hell. Now you've given me an idea with the mention of Mephistopheles. I won't be using him but the idea you've given me can work very well in the narrative of this story. Thanks a lot. Yeah it's funny on Frank. I think Clint is a better archer but Oliver is a better fighter. And I don't judge fighting skill based on speculation but actual feats which Oliver has got. Yes, Wanda is the most powerful here totally. Matt might be. I'd just call them the Secret Avengers. I think Logan just got his claws coated with Adamantium. I think Elektra and Sara are equally dark. Sara did do some bad stuff with the League. I don't consider LOT Sara the real Sara. For me, the real Sara died in 3x1 of Arrow. LOT Sara sucks. Arrow Season 2 Sara was amazing, compelling and also a dark character. Let's just say Steve doesn't know about it and an amusing scene of him finding out is coming. I wish that too on Scott Adkins. Yes the ability to open a pickle jar is very important. Yes they are. Enjoy.

Guest 1: Thanks for the review. Glad you loved the E-1 vigilantes sending Ross to Hell. I do have a very good idea for a sequel actually.

Guest 2: Thanks for the review. If I recall, Barry had tachyon enhancement when they did that. And in this story, Season 3 played out differently and Season 4 didn't happen at all so let's just say they can't pull it off as Barry is not as fast as he is in cannon.

Guest 3: Thanks for the review. It's not like anyone in MCU knows about the List so not a problem.

Chapter 7- The plan

The Wakandan jet was flying over the sea, on its way to Strucker's Castle.

"So, what is this place exactly?" Oliver asked.

"An old Hydra stronghold." Steve said, "It was run by Strucker, a head of a Hydra faction before we got him."

"And it was abandoned, till now." Natasha said.

"Well, this Hydra sure sounds like something." Sara said.

"Well, they did infiltrate SHIELD and the Senate for many years." Clint said.

"And I thought Fisk was bad." Matt groaned.

"Well, to be honest, he was pretty bad." Sam said, "I heard he fooled the entire FBI or something like that."

"Oh he did." Elektra said, "Made them eat out of his hand."

"Sounds bloody entertaining to me." Constantine said, only to receive glares from everyone, "Bloody horrible."

"But now he is in prison with no way out." Frank said, "Exactly like he deserves."

"No kidding." Wanda agreed.

"And I did hear about those Accords." Oliver said, "A flawed piece of legislation to control the Avengers. Nothing more."

"Yeah. I just wish more people understood." Clint told him.

"Tony only supported them out of guilt." Steve said, "It's a human reaction."

"Guilt for what?" Sara asked.

"It was my fault." Wanda said in guilt.

"Hey, kid." Clint said as she looked over at him, "Don't blame yourself. Tony and Bruce were working on Ultron long before you showed Stark a vision. Some of it is your fault, but they also share the blame. You rattled Tony but you didn't make him use alien technology he knew nothing about to go about creating Ultron."

"If we start going in too deep, every single one of us has made horrible mistakes." Natasha said, "But we can't let them hold us back forever."

"You're right. We shouldn't." Sara agreed, "And now I realize mine."

"What?" Oliver asked her.

"I have been ignoring my home all this time." Sara told him, "You, dad, the other Laurel."

She turned to Constantine, "Look, I'm having fun with you guys and all, but being thrown here with no way back, I'm realizing how much I really miss everyone over there. So I won't ignore them any longer."

"I think I understand just fine." Constantine said.

"You should spend as much time with your loved ones as you can." Clint agreed, "You never know when it's too late."

"So…you're coming back?" Oliver asked her.

"If we manage to make it back home, yes." Sara said and Oliver smiled.

"We're close." Sam said.

Wanda looked down from the jet and shuddered at the huge crater she was seeing. It brought back horrible memories.

"Kid, you all right?" Clint asked.

After several deep breaths, Wanda said, "I think I will be."

"What is this place?" Sara asked.

"I'm pretty sure something used to be here in this crater's place." Oliver said.

"Yes." Wanda said sadly, "My home."

"What?" Constantine asked in horror as Oliver and Sara had the same expression, "So this place used to be what…..some city or something?"

"Novi Grad." Frank said, "That's what this place was called."

"The capital of Sokovia." Matt told them.

"Remember that assassin Danny and Colleen told us about?" Elektra asked Matt, "She was held as a POW here or something?"

"Yes, Mary Walker." Matt remembered and the two nodded.

"How did this happen?" Oliver asked.

"Tony and Bruce were working on Ultron, an AI that could control all his suits and create a suit of armor around the world to protect it." Steve said.

"Doesn't sound like much of a world." Oliver said, "What if the robots started causing havoc?"

"The idea was a good one if done right." Natasha said, "Like if he asked all the countries for their permission in having his Iron Legion guard them."

"But Tony got his hands on a Scepter that had an AI inside it and tried to use it to fulfill the program." Steve said.

"I'm guessing it didn't go too well." Sara said.

"No." Sam said, "Ultron became sentient and decided that the only way to save the world was to destroy humanity as they were the ones hurting it."

"Damn, this thing really got bloody bonkers." Constantine said.

"And then he recruited me and my brother." Wanda said, "At the time, we hated the Avengers and Stark because a bomb made by his company had killed our parents."

"Barry did tell us that he used to be some kind of weapons dealer or something before." Sara said.

"He was." Steve said, "But he realized the error of his ways and shut down the weapons division of his company because they had been dealing behind his back for years."

"So it wasn't completely his fault." Wanda agreed before saying guiltily, "And we did help him for a while. Until I looked into his mind and realized his true plan. Humanity's extinction."

"We did try to stop him. But he had already risen the city to the sky." Clint said, "And dropping it would kill almost everyone."

"So we had to destroy it after evacuating the civilians." Steve said sadly as he looked at Wanda, "One of us lost his life."

"Your brother?" Sara asked Wanda gently and she nodded. Sara felt her greatest sympathies going out to Wanda, as she had also lost her sister.

"All because of me." She said.

"Like Clint said, not all of it is your fault." Oliver assured her, "My sister also helped a psychopath who killed 503 people when she was misguided. But we don't judge her for that."

"Who destroyed the city though?" Constantine asked.

"Thor did." Steve said, "After it was evacuated."

"The Norse God?" Constantine asked and they all nodded, "So is he red-haired or something?"

"No. He is blonde." Sam said.

"What a world!" Oliver said, "Even Norse Gods are real."

"Considering that he destroyed what used to be in this crater's place, he definitely is very powerful." Sara said.

"Yeah, from what I recall, he hit the core with his hammer and Tony contained his shockwaves so they ended up destroying the city without harming anyone else." Steve said.

"Mighty guy." Constantine commented.

"I think we're close." Matt said.

"Right you are, Matt." Clint agreed as they brought the jet down near the crater between the trees.

"Well, bub, I have a feeling I'm gonna enjoy this very, very much." Logan said.

With that, the 12 of them walked out of the jet and discreetly moved through the trees in the forests as Clint used his rangefinder to look up at the outposts and saw some soldiers there.

As they continued moving, Matt heard something and said, "We're not alone."

And suddenly a rocket was fired at them from somewhere.

"Move!" Steve yelled as they all jumped away to avoid it. As they got up, Matt heard a click and soon, machine gun fire was upon them but Wanda raised a hex shield to defend them all as they took cover behind the trees.

The firing stopped for a while as Wanda lowered her shield and Frank got up, firing back before the machine gun fire resumed and Wanda raised her shield again.

"I wish you had yours." Natasha said to Steve who groaned. He didn't consider himself worthy of it now.

"We're sitting ducks out here!" Oliver said, "We need recon."

"I'm working on it, bub." Logan snarled.

Eventually, the machine gun ran out of ammo and then Wanda lowered her shield again. Matt could hear a heartbeat in the vicinity and at that moment, threw his Billy club. It hit the Hydra thug on the face, knocking him out as his club returned.

"I like her." Constantine said to Oliver and Sara about Wanda, "Those are some nice tricks she has got."

"Well then you better not piss her off." Sara said dryly as Clint, who was listening, chuckled.

"Anyone who does that is crazy." Clint said.

"No kidding." Sam agreed.

"Come on." Steve yelled as they continued further.


MODOK was hovering near the window as Grim Reaper walked up behind him.

"Grim Reaper." MODOK said, "Report."

"MODOK, the Rogue Avengers have found the fortress." Grim Reaper said, "Steve Rogers leads them. They also have Daredevil, Black Sky, Punisher and the 3 friends of the Enhanced we captured."

"Send your best regiment out to confront him." MODOK ordered, "He will defeat them, of course, but it will give us time to prepare the specimens. This will be the perfect test."


Outside, the others were running towards the place as Sam flew up towards the outposts and kicked two of the firing soldiers down while Oliver and Clint fired their arrows at the ones on the other outpost, getting them too.

Three of them rushed the group but Sara sliced one of their throats in a rotatory motion while Elektra stabbed the other through the chest and Natasha flipped the third one down before punching him out.

Steve lifted one up and threw him down as Frank shot another one dead. Oliver flipped to avoid a soldier's shots and smacked him out while Clint shot another down.

Logan leapt at one from behind with a roar as his claws popped out and drove them through his neck, killing him brutally.

"Never seen those before." Steve said.

"Never cared to show them before." Logan said.

Wanda used her powers to lift up two of them and throw them off as Constantine used his telekinesis to stop one of them and took his gun before shooting him with it.

Matt repeatedly dodged one's blows before using the high tensile cable between his club to tie up his neck and pull him towards himself, punching him out. Oliver shot another soldier rushing at him.

The group continued rushing towards the castle. Some of its layout had been changed this time. A regiment of Hydra thugs fired at them but Wanda blocked with her shield before pushing it outwards, throwing them all down.

"Good job, kid." Clint complimented before someone from above threw down an explosive which exploded, sending all of them to the ground.

A minute later, they got back up as one of the soldiers rushed them but Steve grabbed him and threw him off the bridge.

Another one was about to fire at them when the bridge opened on top of him, crushing him. Out walked Sam Wilson.

"You can do wonders when you can fly." Sam commented. He had flown inside when Wanda had beaten the regiment on the bridge.

"Good job, Sam." Steve said gratefully.

The group then walked into the castle over the bridge, stopping in front of the door. Clint fired an arrow that stuck at the door and after beeping, exploded, opening it.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking.

"Looks like the welcoming committee is here." Natasha said, "I got this."

And then out stepped a giant creature with a hammer in place of its left hand and only one eye. It wore some primitive armor. It was 12 feet tall.

"You know what? I change my mind." Natasha said dryly.

It raised its hammer and brought it down on them as Wanda used her shield to block while the others backed off.

"What the hell is that?" Oliver asked.

"One of Hydra's experiments maybe." Steve said.

"That, mate, is a Cyclops." Constantine said.

"Cyclops?" Clint asked incredulously, "So you're telling me Greek Mythology is true as well?"

"It is." Constantine said, "Mostly."

Sam flew at it with his pistols out but it swung its hammer at him. Sam barely avoided and kicked the Cyclops' head but it was barely affected and grabbed him.

"Cap!" He yelled.

Matt's Billy club hit its eye and it staggered back, letting Sam go as the club returned to Matt.

"You want me monster?" Steve yelled at the Cyclops, "Here I am."

It rushed Steve who backed off towards the bridge. The Cyclops brought its hammer down on him again but he jumped back and it hit the bridge under it, shattering it and falling down into the abyss below, screaming.

Steve leapt up and grabbing a chain, swung back inside.

"Let's keep moving." He said.

"Yeah, sure." Sara said sarcastically, "No use dwelling on the Cyclops that almost ate Sam."

They ran further inside and reached the lab where several specimens of a lot of stuff were kept. Everyone looked disturbed on seeing them.

"Smart bombs." Steve said, "Nerve gas. Germ warfare."

"Okay, this is creeping me out." Sara said.

"You're not the only one, mate." Constantine said.

"Hydra. Always back to its old ways." Logan snarled angrily.

"Hydra's been working on this stuff for years." Natasha realized.

"Any one of these things could mean big trouble for the world." Clint said.

"That's why we're here." Oliver told him, "No matter what, we're taking down Hydra once and for all."

"And saving everyone they captured." Matt said.

Frank opened a door in front of them and they walked through when Matt's senses were slightly overwhelmed by the number of strange heartbeats he was hearing.

In the room were several pods with strange creatures inside them. Everyone except Constantine looked shocked on seeing them.

"What in the world is this, Cap?" Frank asked.

"I'm not so sure this is from our world." Steve said.

Suddenly, Matt realized they were not alone, "Hydra is here."

And then they all heard a dark chuckle, "You may come out now, Steven Rogers. I know you are here. You have arrived just in time to witness history."

And then MODOK appeared before them, a sick smirk on his face.

"Okay, what is that?" Sam said.

"Never seen that before." Elektra sighed.

"Your body seems….disproportional." Matt said.

"Who are you?" Steve asked.

"You can call me MODOK." He said.

"How did you become like this?" Oliver asked him.

"My name used to be George Tarleton." He said, "I was a head of a Hydra faction. When Hydra took the Scepter, it came to me before it went to Strucker. We were experimenting on advanced mutagenics back then with the help of a benefactor organization called The Workshop." He said, "I used it on myself to modify and alter my genes, and became Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing or MODOK for short. And my offensive will shake this entire universe."

"So you basically became a bigger shithead than before." Logan said and MODOK looked angry.

"Enough of this shit." Frank said as he fired but MODOK used a force field to defend himself as Hydra thugs jumped down on the heroes from both sides.

Clint, Wanda, Sam, Matt, Elektra, Frank, Oliver, Sara, Constantine and Logan were about to fight them when Steve gestured at them to stand down. They were puzzled but decided to listen to him.

They handed their weapons over to the soldiers and were led down below. They looked at all the mythical creatures trapped inside the pods.

And that was when they saw Vision and J'onn strapped to tables, knocked out.

"Vision!" Steve yelled.

"J'onn!" Oliver yelled.

"They are being examined for their powers." MODOK simply said.

"Still doing Hydra's dirty work, bub?" Logan asked.

"No." MODOK said, "No."

He chuckled darkly and said, "Unlike most of the other factions, I have stopped looking for relics of this world or even for our lord Hive."

"Hive?" Oliver questioned, as it was the name of the organization on his Earth.

"An Inhuman we consider our lord." MODOK said, "Though I heard it was ended one year ago."

MODOK then announced, "Today, I take the power of another world."

Gesturing to all the creatures around him, MODOK said, "Ancient mythology told of a realm of supernaturally powerful beings. And all myths have some basis in truth. This cave was the location of one gateway to that realm. The Norse called it Bifrost- the Rainbow Bridge."

"Bifrost?" Natasha questioned, "That's what Asgard uses."

"Yes. That is it. And they probably came to this specific area centuries ago." MODOK said, "Picture an army of mythological beasts unleashed upon the battlefield. The world won't even comprehend the forces that are destroying them."

That was when they noticed a giant, white beast emerging from the shadows, a huge chain around its neck. It seemed to be made of a strong metal as the creature was snarling angrily but unable to break it.

"Looks like your doggy there would rather gnaw on you than us, MODOK." Clint said.

"We have ways of guiding their choices." MODOK said as he pressed a remote and a collar around the huge beast activated, sending some electricity through it as it whined.

"What have you done?" Elektra snarled.

MODOK chuckled, "What have I done? I have won this war."

He turned to his men, "Open the portal!"

The man pulled the lever and electricity slowly started arcing through the device as a Hydra soldier brought a power dampening collar to put around Wanda, making her pale.

That was when Steve yelled, "Now!"

He suddenly turned around and punched a Hydra soldier away while Natasha flipped another to the ground and kicked him throat, knocking him out while Oliver and Clint knocked their opponents out and took back their bows and Sara also elbowed her opponent out and took her sword.

Elektra punched her opponent on the throat hard, killing him and taking her sword back while Frank ripped the throat of his opponent out, killing him brutally as he took his gun back and Matt flip kicked one out and picked up his club while Logan simply drove his claws into one's chin and they protruded from his head.

Constantine put his hand on a soldier's head and chanted, "Molles somnos, somno iam."

The soldier fell on the ground, fast asleep.

Some of the fired at the heroes but Wanda put her shield in the way and the bullets deflected off of it and hit the portal machine instead, destroying the machinery.

"NO!" MODOK yelled in despair, "NOOOOO!"

"MODOK!" Sam yelled as he flew into the air and kicked him hard, staggering him back a little.

MODOK suddenly pressed a remote and smirked. The wall behind them broke as Super-Adaptoid walked inside.

Before anyone could react, it fired repulsors at Wanda and Constantine, knocking them both out.

"Those repulsors…" Steve trailed off.

"Just like Tony's." Natasha said.

Matt hit one thug with his club in a rotatory motion and flip kicked another out as Elektra slicked one's head in a rotatory motion and Frank shot one point blank. Sara grabbed one in a headlock and snapped his neck as Oliver kicked one out in a rotatory motion and Clint shot another out.

Sam flew at MODOK again but this time he fired a beam from his headband, knocking him out.

Steve was rushing to free Vision and J'onn when Super-Adaptoid fired heat vision near his feet, throwing him off as he hit his head hard, knocked out.

"Was that…." Oliver trailed off.

"I think it was." Sara agreed as Frank fired at Super-Adaptoid but it was unaffected as it walked up to him and kicked him, knocking him out.

Matt and Elektra rushed it but it smacked them both out too before Oliver and Clint fired explosive arrows but it was still unaffected and knocked them both out with repulsors.

Natasha and Sara looked at it when MODOK hit them from behind with his mind beams, knocking them out too.

Logan leapt at Super-Adaptoid with a roar, claws out, but was smacked away. He hit the wall and groaned, having hurt himself hard. With a roar, he got back up but Super-Adaptoid fired heat vision at him and he hit the wall again, this time knocked out.

"Lock them up with the others!" MODOK roared, "And repair the portal!"


Well, things are going to shit still. Hope everyone enjoyed the chapter though.

I think MODOK's plan is pretty insane.

And the giant white beast is actually the Jotunheim Beast from the post-credits scene of Thor: The Dark World. Nothing came of that scene really so not unreasonable to assume Hydra got their hands on it.

See you all next time with another chapter.
